Make unit explode on death not working?

[kentzeus]

Hey, I'm trying to make a hero (abomination) explode on death but it's not working. I'm using Art - Special Abomination <Special> and

• Unit - Make Butcher (1st Boss) 0439 <gen> Explode on death

Any suggestions to what I can do?

I think it's just bugs in the latest version, hopefully it'll be fixed in the next patch

I'm not using the latest version though.
Btw is it safe to update now?

Yes.

As far as I know, heroes do not explode.

I suggest you hide the hero upon death and create a special effect at their position. Then, show them once they are revived.

Yea that's what I've done for now, the problem is that the special effect doesn't necessarily get the correct direction depending on what the unit's current direction is when it dies.

The latest version allows you to rotate the special effects easily.

• Set point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
• Special Effect - Create a special effect at point using Units\Undead\Abomination\AbominationExplosion.mdl
• Special Effect - Set Yaw of (Last created special effect) to: (Radians((Facing of (Triggering unit))))
• Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(point)

However, you said above that your game isn't up to date. So, you'll have to spawn a temporary dummy unit, copying the dying hero's position and facing angle. Finally, you just have to attach the special effect to it.
